RecipePlaner: Your all-in-one digital cookbook and smart grocery planner for seamless meal preparation and shopping!
Everyone knows that feeling, you have a few tomatoes, peppers, some cucumber left in the fridge. What meal could you prepare with those ingredients to avoid them going to waste.
Of course! A greek salad would be a perfect fit, but what else do I need, and how can I come up with those receipes if my ingredients are more exotic?
Let me introduce Recipe Planer, a digital cookbook and inventory management software, to keep track of the groceries you have at home and will need at home in order to cook your favourite receipes!
Amongst many feature we support:
- Creation of new ingredients (name, category, image, measure unit) / Edit
- Filtering of ingredients (according to custom criterias) and ability to have a detail view for each ingredient
- Creation of new recipes (name, description, preparation time, category, custom images)
- Ability to add recipe steps, ingredients, reviews to a recipe
- Filtering of recipes to find the perfect recipe (filtering by classical filters, by difficulty, by ingredients contained in the recipe)
- Detailed View of a Recipe and ability to plan a recipe in the integrated calendar
- See calendar of all planed meals
Some further features have not been implemented yet but are in planing (see the GitHub Issues):
- Plan a grocery store trip in the store
- Recipe recommendation based on available ingredients
- Automatically generate a grocery list based on the planed recipes
Further features could be added later on (but are not planed yet), for instance:

- Integration of the webapplication with voice assistants (such as Amazon Alexa) to interact by voice with the program
- Programmatically prefill the recipe list and ingredient list by fetching data from the internet

- Estimate the amount of calories in each recipe
- Ability to export the calendar with planed recipes and grocery store trips to ICAL.
